At least if you make the channelers play as entry-level Aes Sedai and not as wilders, you can make them follow the rules a little better. Even before they take the Three Oaths, they're not allowed to lie or use the Power as a weapon (except for a couple of situations where it's okay). Technically they can, but they'll get in trouble for it.
Then they can use the same tactic Aes Sedai use in the books, where they run blindly into danger so that their power now counts as self-defense when they use it.
